And there has been much progress with the completion of over 180 hexagon units out of the required 240 hexagons.

I've picked out some of my favorite hexagons, however I must say that was not easy task; there were many favorites! My Mother in Law is a precision hand piecer, the stitches are tiny and consistent. Each unit is pieced and the seams are pressed to perfection.

.

I think you will recognize quite a few of these fabrics as my MIL has free reign to my scrap bin. I love the way the fabrics have been fussy cut to create new patterns, with surprising results.

As a machine piecer, all hand pieced patchwork is such an inspiration. I am definitely looking forward to seeing this quilt finished.

I wanted to pick up my hexagons where I left off months ago, but I can't locate them!!! Its not much but I have made a few. Plus I want to see the measurement to ensure I can use my new GO! cutter (either win a giveaway or purchase myself) for the remaining flowers.

I think this is one of the sweetest quilts I have ever seen. I wish I could make something similar, but then I would need access to you fabric stash too, heh, heh. I am very impressed that she did it by hand.

I wonder, would you do a post on how your mom in law approaches fabric choices and placements for her hexagons? They are quite unique and I would love to hear her go through the design and construction "process".
